Another
total lunar eclipse was viewed for this year and this time I was ready to do
take photos and observe. But the problem occurs when the weather starts to be
cloudy and the moon rises behind the dark clouds. We are expecting a storm and
I’m glad that it didn’t rained yesterday, but thick clouds and the air pollution
added more hazy effects to view the moon.
I set up my gear at at around
4:30pm just to wait for the moon rise, but as expected, all I see are clouds.
btw, I set up a global adjustment for these photos in order to eliminate the
hazy and the grainy effect of the high ISO and also to turn the sky into black.

here’s
my view around 4:30pm
the sun is covered with thick clouds

and
here’s my total lunar eclipse photos taken here in Cavite, Philippines

at
6:39pm , the moon peeks behind the cloud and I used a slow shutter speed to
capture the moon and eliminate the hazy effect.
